2007

It`s risky enough having one of Rice`s mistletoe-pierced Balders in your system, but the D-Rays have two. Niemann is further along on the development curve than Wade Townsend, though both have missed considerable time due to injuries to the part of their body with which they hope to make their livings. Niemann didn`t make his first appearance last year until June, having had to recover from minor shoulder surgery first, but, to his credit, he was quite good after that. That he has a less-than-graceful command of his large body doesn`t help the injury concerns.
